Sentimental America.....

Did you know..... United States navy warships are built using some of the remains of the September 11 (2001) attacks. The USS New York is built using rubble from the Twin Towers. The USS Arlington is built using rubble from the Pentagon. There is even a warship being built in memory of, Flight 93, the flight that wrecked in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The USS Somerset. When I first heard about the U.S. Navy building these ships, I thought,'How sentimental'. It must be an honor to be be apart of one of these projects. It shows you how strong the citizens of this country can be. You might have knocked us down, but we will pick ourselves up. And like the motto of the USS New York, we will "Never Forget".
